“I thought this started off interesting but ultimately felt like a lot of cheap narrative techniques were involved to artificially maintain interest. Here’s a few;
– From the very first mention of faithers incredibly long memoir I was suspicious of him. Writing such a thing struck me as very narcissistic thing to do, and the details of it so self aggrandising and improbable that it was hard to believe. All that in mind and they didn’t cover the details of the lies until the end of the series, which felt like being led on.
- It was also obvious that the family was very identified to this man’s reputation as a basis for their status. There was a sense of familial superiority from the very start, which predictably ran headlong into the clear lies. So I didn’t find that all that interesting or surprising when that happened. Really the more interesting subtext is British class.
- as for the ghost element, I felt like I was being led on. As in the narrator didn’t really believe it, and as such there was essentially no effort to look at alternative explanations for the ghost stories as it would kill the narrative. The haunted room in question had objects moving in it (a bed and vase) so it would’ve been interesting to know if there was something about the rooms construction that could’ve caused vibrations or motion. Of course that would make for dull story.”
